Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past. As the city creeps towards winter, Sarah and her friends stand face-to-face with the horrors of London poverty-rising prices, rampant crime, disease, and hopelessness-and it becomes clear that not everyone will make it out alive. Everyone has a secret, and the consequences can be more devastating than any of them can imagine. "Dark, emotionally gripping, highly researched... very impressive." "Deeply moving and heart-wrenching, it will forever leave a mark on my heart." - anonymous readers WARNINGS: This excerpt contains descriptions of physical injury and child abuse.

standalone ~ mafia siblings series I stare at the elegant man. He smiles at me. I tilt my head to the side, hands clasped behind my back. "Good day," The man begins. "I am sorry for your loss." The words sound force and rehearsed. He doesn't mean it. He wears a polished outfit: a suit, watch, church shoes. His one outfit probably costs more than my entire wardrobe. He holds out his hand. I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty. "I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies. Brother? My brother is dead. ~~~ Lacy was raised by a family who hated her, who didn't want her. She was made to believe she was a burden, a mistake. Despite this, Lacy remained positive.
